I feel like it makes more sense this way. Tapping on a notification (or an app icon) brings you straight to the app whereas long pressing on either one expands a menu with options. It would feel weird if tapping on the dynamic island expanded it and holding it down opened the app. That’s not how anything else in iOS works.

As another example, long pressing expands the tiles in the control center in a way that feels just like expanding the Dynamic Island
